Cudahy council rejects nonbinding referendum on drop-off site fees
Summary
After a presentation on operating costs for the city drop-off site, the Cudahy Common Council voted 4–1 on Feb. 17 to reject a motion to place a nonbinding referendum on fees for the drop-off site and recycling fund programs.
The Cudahy Common Council on Feb. 17 voted down a motion to place a nonbinding referendum on the ballot about fees for the city’s drop-off site and programs funded through the Recycling Fund. Alderperson Bartoshevich moved to place the referendum; Alderperson Litkowiec seconded the motion, which failed 4–1.
The debate followed a staff presentation outlining options for the cost of operating the drop-off site. According to the record, council members discussed the operating choices and funding implications before the roll call. Alderpersons Moralez, Schissel, Hollenbeck and Litkowiec voted no; Alderperson Bartoshevich voted yes. Mayor John Hohenfeldt had requested consideration of a nonbinding referendum on the issue.
During general public comment, resident John Rappant of 6075 S. Elaine Ave. spoke about the drop-off site, a claim denial and a complaint regarding his alderperson; the record does not show a formal response from council members. The council took no further action to place a referendum or to adopt a fee change at the meeting.
